I've been offered a discount of 25,000/- too. But expected more in the 40,000 range as there is Christmas as well as the year end. Should I wait for the end of the month and then book or 25,000 is the best that they can do? Anyone else getting a better deal anywhere then let me know please. Is it true that NEXA cars cannot be given large discounts as per Maruti instructions?

Ignis is not that fast a seller by usual Maruti Standards, so there is very high possibility that you will find 2016 models even in January-Feb. To make sure, just ask for the current stock and its manufacturing date. Unless you are very particular about the Variant+color combo, I would suggest waiting so that you can get discounts higher than current one.

I'm flexible with Delta and Sigma variants. I visited the stockyard and found about 20 Ignis vehicles over there. Tried my best but 25k is all they are offering as discount right now. Should i try again next week before Christmas or after Christmas? I dont want to show them much interest or they would not offer any further discounts.

You can try asking for the approx manufacturing month. If its anything more than one month old, rest assured and just tell them to call you if they have any better deals. I'm not sure about the dealer situation in your town, but if you can find another dealer nearby, especially one willing to match the current offer, you can surely get a better deal. Since you may be buying a Sigma variant, I'm sure you would end up putting some accessories in it(it is a bit barebones), they may be more willing to discount accesories such as mats, painting door mirrors, music system etc.

Booked Ignis Zeta version. Red and black dual tone. Planning to take delivery next week. I have few questions:
1. Will upgrading the tyre to 195/15 cause issues with tyre touching the body/suspension?
2. Which is the best tyre to upgrade to keeping comfortable ride quality as the priority?
3. How much can I expect for ecopia tyres as exchange value?

My recommendations below:
Q1: 195/60R15 should work fine on the Ignis without touching the body/suspension but IMHO the stock tires are decent.
Q2: I would recommend Michelin Primacy 3ST
Q3: If you are exchanging in Bangalore call and check the exchange rates with Millivisions (Krumbigal Rd, Bangalore) or Sai Iyengar And Sons (Lalbagh Road, Bangalore). These two would offer the best rates in my experience.

I have Baleno Zeta and it does come with puddle lamps from factory. Maruti doesn't even mention about them in Brochure .

1. Posted pics
2. Yes, they are useful. I would prefer brighter white led bulbs instead

Thanks. I was asking about it because I'm planning a retrofit in my Brezza. I did something similar but with much better light intensity in my WagonR. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/hatchb...ml#post3712564
So looking at all possibilities and the decide on which one to procure and start working on.

Booking has been done for the past two weeks for a Tinsel blue Delta MT. Still contemplating whether to make the payment and take delivery as the car is already in stock. Will decide in the next week whether to complete the purchase. Just wanted to know if the new Swift will be coming soon enough and whether the price of VXi variant will be within 6.5 lakhs OTR? Getting this Ignis for 5.6 lakhs roughly. Getting a lot of opinions to wait for the swift but maybe it wont be a proper city car to accompany the Brezza that we already own.

The NEXA guys are quoting 29k for the alloys upgrade. I think they're overcharging. Is it possible to order alloys through MGP as a part later on and install it at a local tire shop? They said that we would be given discounts on accessories but now they only offer 500 off which is ridiculous. Won't even get a single accessory free like they used to do in earlier times.

If we go by the speculations going on, new Swift will be launched by the second month of next year.
However, don't go by what your current dealer with whom you booked the Ignis says on the availability of the new Swift. A good salesman who knows how to sell will definitely try to convince you for the Ignis he already has in his stockyard.

Regarding the price, it should be more or less similar to the outgoing model. Maximum 10k or 20k hike across models, if any.

Depends upon your criteria for a car to be called as a "city car". Is it the length? The width? Easy Ingress/Egress? Good low end torque? Boot space? or something else. Since both the cars are made from the same platform and shares the same engine, all the above points shouldn't differ much. Ingress and egress can be compared by looking at the International reviews of the new Swift.

If I were you I'd wait for the new Swift unless I can't wait three to four months for the new car or I'm getting some really good discounts on the Ignis.

Getting delivery next week. Haven't opted for any accessories. Wanted the alloys but 29k i believe is quoted above normal prices. Do the alloys have any part number in MGP? Currently the plan is to spray paint the wheel caps to black colour.
